If you try to paint vinyl or any shiny paint with emulsion it will slip all over. First you need to either apply a water-based primer like Bullseye 1-2-3 or prime-it plus carefully or an oil-based undercoat, either applied carefully with a 4 inch foam roller so it doesn't slide around everywhere. Then you can emulsion as normal. There are not many bathrooms where matt paint is ideal, but a water-based satin or eggshell would resist condensation better.





The best paint in a bathroom is Dulux quick-drying eggshell, but it is an arm and a leg. Apart from the aforementioned undercoat, try and stay away from putting oil-based paints on walls.Painting Vinyl Wallpaper with Kitchen Paint...?
Vinyl wallpaper is far less porous than wallpapers made from paper or fabric. Because it's vinyl, it's easier to install and cleans up with a damp cloth. But like other wallpapers, vinyl wallpaper can be difficult to remove. If you want to paint your wall without removing the vinyl wallpaper, you need to alter the integrity of its surface. You need to prepare the vinyl so that it will accept both primer and paint. Otherwise, the paint will ';thin'; and the wallpaper will show through.





Things You'll Need:


Razor-edged roller tool


Fine-grit sandpaper


Primer


Paint


Short nap roller and painting supplies





Wash the surface of the wallpaper with a degreaser. Clean it with a cotton cloth or sponge and rinse the degreaser off using clean water. Dry with a cloth and let dry for one to two hours.





Step 2Score the wallpaper. Scoring the paper will break the surface tension. You can do this with a commercially available product such as Paper Tiger, or you can improvise and use a ravioli cutter or similar tool. You need a razor-edged roller to roll over the paper. Use broad strokes; you do not need to score every inch of the surface.





Step 3Lightly sand the wallpaper with fine-grit sandpaper. Do not use a sander. Just as you did to score the surface, use broad strokes, just enough to break down the surface. Wipe clean with a cotton cloth.





Step 4Apply a coat of quality primer to the wall. If you are painting the wall a dark, rich color, tint the primer to a shade two or three shades lighter than your paint color. Allow the primer to dry for 24 hours. If you are applying a light-colored paint and the wallpaper is dark, apply a second coat of primer for better coverage.





Step 5Apply a coat of quality flat or semi-gloss paint to the wall. Use a short nap roller to apply the paint, as the wallpaper surface, even with the primer, is more like a smooth wall than a textured wall. Allow the paint to dry for 24 hours before applying a second coat.
I think it would be ok - the bathroom and kitchen paint from Band q is very good.





Maybe best to test it first on a small section, and be prepared to give it a couple of coats.





If needed - best to wash the paper down first


with sparse amount of water and soap.
